INNER TERRESTRIALS LYRICS

"Mountain Of Lead"

Where can I heal my weary head?

Where can I heal my weary head?

I saw the forest burn as the earth bled

Tried to shut out the screams as they filled my head

But it still echos through me and fills me with dread

And weighs on my soul like a mountain of lead



Then up jumped the devil on a cold grey night

Asked me if my life was my own or a fight

Well I see it's freedom and justice you hunger

Look at yourself you're not getting any younger



Look after number on, live for thrills and fun

Think of yourself and what you could become

Well I looked him in the eyes, told him that I've tried

Each way that I turn they won't let me by

They shackled my hands, stamped on my plans

I've done all I can to make them understand

I was born free, thats my reality

I'll do what I have to for what I believe

Why are these people on my case

Why are these people on my case

They're like an army of ghosts chasing me round

I put out to see but they ran me aground

Each way I turned they made sure I was found

They made their voice heard till I was sick of the sound



I looked in the mirror and saw an old man

With something to say, this is how it began

I wonder if you will stick to your heart

Know you've been true when it's time to depart

Will you eat your food off this hand that feeds

Forget the times that you saw the earth bleed

Live out your life as a party to greed

Kill off the roots of freedoms seed
